Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, minced
• 3 cups beef broth
• salt and ground black pepper, or to taste
• 1 ripe tomato, cut into small cubes
• 2 cups bulgur, rinsed
• ½ cup cooked green lentils
• ⅓ cup cooked chickpeas
• 1 bunch fresh mint, chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir tomatoes through the onion; continue cooking until tomatoes soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour beef broth over the onion and tomato mixture; bring to a boil.

Step 2

Stir bulgur into the boiling broth; season with salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook at a simmer until the bulgur begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add lentils and chickpeas; continue cooking until the moisture evaporates and the bulgur is tender, 3 to 5 minutes more.

Step 3

Remove the skillet from heat. Set aside to cool about 30 minutes. Fold mint into the bulgur mixture to serve.
